small belly/baby

I am getting SO irritated with everyone telling me I don't look like I'm 34 weeks, or that I'm due so soon, and that my belly is small. It makes me SOOO upset bc it worry that he's not growing enough. I was so worried I asked my dr for a growth scan and he was measuring in the 34%. She said thats within the normal range - but now I know he really is small. Also I didn't gain any weight in the last 2 weeks. Anyone else in a similar situation? I just want to know I'm not alone!

I'm 34 w, 4 days and I lost a pound and a half when weighed at my doctor appointment on Thursday. Doctor asked if I'm eating because I haven't gained much since October. Told him I love to eat but my stomach is so squished I can't eat too much at a time without getting uncomfortable! But he said my belly is measuring fine.

Me! I'm super small and also had a growth scan checking to make sure she isn't IUGR and she's 33rd percentile :) my SIL is due 2 months after me and has a bigger belly than me! It's super annoying for people to tell you you're small or that the dr must have your due date wrong!! But, my OB told me most people gain an excessive amount of weight and think that's ok just bc they're pregnant and use it as an excuse. so there's nothing wrong with a small baby :) plus - less to lose after they're born!

I'm 33 weeks today with my 4th and still get comments about how small my belly is. I guess people expect since I've "already had so many kids" I should be as big as a barn. My other 3 were 7.4, 7.5 and 8 even so I'm not too worried about baby's size, until people make their comments then I start to wonder. I haven't had an US since 20 weeks but thinking of asking the doctor at my appointment in a week to take a peek just for reassurance. But I've measured exactly where I should every time and pretty much did with my other 3 as well.

I'm 37 weeks and people think I'm 6-7 months, and my baby is actually small weight wise but right on point with measurements. It didn't worry me or bother me at all because I knew my family carries skinny, long babies. Her legs are a week longer! Lol and my doctor never seemed concerned. Everyone carries different so try not to let it worry you. My sis and mom always compare their pregnancies to me and said its not right that I wasn't having BHs yet, that I'm not throwing up as much blah blah. We're all different

I feel like my belly is super small for 35 weeks. I was way bigger with my first ds than I am with this one (also a boy). With my first he was estimated to be between 7 and 7.5 and he came at 40 1 weighing 5.7 small but healthy. I've had extra u/s to make sure he's growing okay and that nothing changes along the way. So far so good (about a week and half between but Dr said that's ok) but today is our last u/s and I'm super nervous. Hoping for the best!! But my cousin in law had super small belly (she's tiny to begin with) and her son came out 9.4!! So sometimes its just all in how you carry.

My fundal heights are measuring small and I got sent for a fetal assessment ultrasound to rule out IUGR. Results came back that baby is 30th percentile. To which my dr responded I must have some tight abs hiding the baby. I just tell people I have a small healthy baby and then make a joke about delivery when they make stupid comments. I'd rather push out something small and healthy than something 10 lbs!

I have been measuring small so went in for additional US. Baby was at 28th percentile and now a bit smaller even. Dr isn't concerned yet... Hope he keeps growing. At 36 weeks, with another US at 38, so would be safe to induce if needed.

Me! Though I measure on point, I look really small. People are shocked when I tell them I'm due in 3 weeks. A lot of people say they wouldn't know I was pregnant if I didn't say so (if I'm in a sweatshirt or something loose). I also haven't gained any weight for a while, and even lost weight. My doc said not to worry, in the end your stomach is squished and doesn't have much room so you end up eating less.

Yep. I am 37 weeks and my fundal measurements stalled out at 30 and I've never measured more than that since. My dr sent me for a scan and my baby was measuring perfect and in the 30th percentile. I had some old lady tell me yesterday that I was the "skinniest pregnant person she'd ever seen" and I just ignored her. Small belly doesn't mean jack and not gaining 75lbs is healthy, not wrong. As long as I know my daughter is healthy, everyone else can suck it ;)

I'm 34 weeks 2 days and I barely look pregnant, no one can believe it when I tell them!! I have gained 0 weight at all throughout my whole pregnancy and had a scan today baby is tracking perfectly and weighs roughly 5.5lbs! She is hiding well in there!

I get it all the time. I evidently still only look like I'm 5 or 6 months pregnant, and I'm due on the 6th. people have started making bets to how much my baby is gonna weigh cause I'm so small. its annoying.

Dont worry to much. I have the same situation. Im 37 weeks now and only gain 20 pounds so far. @ 29 weeks i was worry my baby is small and the fundus height is smaller then what its suppose to be. so we got an usg and the baby actually in 86 percentile.. The baby is sitting very low thats why.

Yep me too! I went in today for my 36 week check and was measuring 32 weeks. Had an ultrasound and he's in the 23rd % but docs aren't worried. I instantly get told how small I am and that I need to put some weight on him. My Mom is obsessed with how small I am and is convinced he's way way too small. It annoys the crap out if me but my doctors say he's totally fine!

Yea! My dr just gave me an ultrasound last week at 36 weeks to make sure he was growing. She hasn't told me the percentage yet but he was measuring at 6 pounds 5 oz at 36 weeks so I'm pretty sure That is a good weight! I'm just not huge like some women are at this point

I've gotten so many comments on how small I am, it worried/ annoyed at first but my doctor said I'm measuring normally. My mom says I'm so small because I have a long torso apparently lol. I'm having a boy, carrying him low and this is my first pregnancy so those all can affect it! Everybody's different! There's nothing wrong with you!(:

So good to see I'm not the only one who gets the "you're so small!" comments. It really does make you start to worry. At my last visit, doctor said she thought the baby "wouldn't be big" but didn't seem concerned and said it's easier to deliver a small baby. I have a growth scan on Friday, and I'm hoping everything looks good.

I've had a few people say "you don't look 8 months pregnant!" It makes me think that they think I'm this fat all the time. Also I've considered the fact that other than my big gut, I don't really "act" pregnant...I think people expect you to be waddling and grunting by the 8th month! Oh well, I'd be annoyed if they said I looked huge...
